Experience building security practices in a fast-growing startup or high-growth company; fintech or regulated B2B SaaS experience is valuable.
Familiarity with TypeScript, JavaScript, AWS or GCP, secure SDLC, threat modeling, IAM, and application security.
Experience with AI or LLM security, cloud security, or owning SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001 programs is beneficial.
